Hey there, zooz. How are you?
3:56 am
zoozzoom
All reasonably well here thanks for asking, Peach, How about your good self?
3:57 am
gapeach
Just trying to keep cool......it has been in the high 90's and a couple of 100's. I don't go out much. The dogs don't stay outside very long either. Glad you are
3:57 am
gapeach
well. Is it terribly hot there?
3:59 am
zoozzoom
Ha hot in the UK that is a very rare occurance. But it is warm though so I must not grumble about it. Would be nice to have a Summer though.
4:02 am
zoozzoom
My friends say I am like a reptile as I am always cold lol
4:03 am
gapeach
Well, I had better get ready to round up the critters and head to bed.....its 5:00AM here. I still have over 100 words to go....It really isn't a bad grid.....I am just slow. Do have a good day. Blessings.

If someone goes to bed at 5 AM, don't you wish them a "good days sleep"? : D Hi Zoom
4:32 am
zoozzoom
Hello, Molly, yes I suppose one would! lol
4:33 am
MollyL
I don't think I have gone to bed at 5 AM since my college days. : )
4:35 am
zoozzoom
I did go to bed around 4:30ish AM a few weeks ago as I was playing a game of chess. I was like a zombie when I awoke around 11AM . Not often I stay up that late. Would not be keen on doing it again neither.
4:37 am
MollyL
Chess seems like a very intense game. I can see how it would lure you to stay up later than usual.
4:38 am
zoozzoom
I love the game of chess. No matter how hard I try I just am no good at it lol
4:40 am
zoozzoom
I say that but I feel I can give people a reasonably good game but just do not seem to have the brain power to advance to a higher level to wht i am at now.
4:41 am
MollyL
Well you have more brain power than I do. I won't even attempt chess. I have no mind for strategy.
4:44 am
zoozzoom
Aww that is a shame, Molly. It really is a great game to get in4.
4:46 am
MollyL
I'm sure once you master it, it's an intriguing game. I think I just balk at the mastery challenge.
4:49 am
zoozzoom
Well I think you are underestimating yourself on the chess front. You seem to me to be a very intelligent lady with a mindset that could excel at chess. you should one day just give it a go for a while and see!
4:51 am
zoozzoom
wow those Z words were easy to find! That makes a change.
4:53 am
zoozzoom
Damn. And off to the PB for me :-(
4:56 am

Oh, we will give you special dispensation since th5 is such an easy word to blurt out : D

I wonder if people sit in their inglenooks drinking Inglenook.
4:58 am
rubyfoo
How cold is it there, zzoozz? It was around 50F tthis morning with a lot of wind.
4:59 am
MollyL
Ruby I asked our mail carrier about your package. He said he tried to deliver it but there was no suite number on it so he didn't know where it went. He's going to try and find it for me.
5:00 am
zoozzoom
There is a restaurant inthe UK called iglenook!, it is in Bognor Regis.
5:00 am
rubyfoo
Oh, I'm sorry. I hope he can find it!
5:02 am
zoozzoom
Stupid babble freeze.
5:03 am
zoozzoom
I will re-type, Ruby. It is 19.7c around 65f here with light winds, Ruby.
5:07 am
MollyL
No worries Ruby, I'm sure it will turn up.
5:09 am
rubyfoo
I sent a package of misc. stuff to husband's daughter in Ca. ad because I didn't itemize the contents, they wouldn't accept it and held the package hostage until I paid ANOTHER 100+ euros to bring it back. And I still don't hav" it
5:09 am
MollyL
And Ruby, I am sorry there has been more trouble in your country. It must be scary times there.
5:10 am
rubyfoo
Yes, it is very scary abd Nice is closer to here than Paris
5:11 am
zoozzoom
Yes I heard about that this morning. crazy crazy stupid people.
5:12 am
rubyfoo
There is no way I would tyravel or be in a crowd, even in this backwater
5:15 am
zoozzoom
I think it was during a fireworks displayfor bastille day.
5:17 am

And there ar e10's of thousands of people clustered along the Tour de France route, easy targets!
5:17 am

>The situation is terrifying
5:19 am

Oh yes I had forgotten about that. does not barethinking about!
5:20 am
MollyL
Ooo, barethinking sounds naughty
: P
5:21 am
zoozzoom
did you see yesterdays stage, Ruby, where chris froome the yellow jersy holder crashed in4 tha back of a motorbike that was filming them and damaged his bike too much so started running up the mountain until another bike was ready for him!
5:21 am
rubyfoo
Like bear naked
5:21 am
zoozzoom
LOL, Molly
5:21 am
zoozzoom
is it bare or bear?
5:21 am
MollyL
*Wonders how many people are now looking for an e10 word : D
5:21 am
rubyfoo
Yes, it was evidently a first, having a rider run up the mountain.
5:22 am
rubyfoo
But I think they gave him a special dispensation
5:22 am
zoozzoom
They did as it was no fault of the riders as they changed the end point of the stage to end earlier.
5:23 am
MollyL
Bear is the animal or to hold or carry. Bare is the naked word.
5:23 am
rubyfoo
I was picturing a shaved bear, making him a bare bear
5:24 am
MollyL
When you think about it, bare naked is kind of an oxymoron
5:24 am
zoozzoom
Just wondered which was the correct one once it is used in a different context to the actual meaning of the word bare/bear.
5:24 am
zoozzoom
LOL I like that, Ruby!
5:25 am
rubyfoo
There was a naked man alongside the riders!
5:25 am
zoozzoom
Thankfully I missed that bit, Ruby.
5:26 am
rubyfoo
And he looked a little like a bear!
5:27 am
zoozzoom
Wow earlier the babbler Gapeach said to me she was going to bed with 100 words to find. i now also have 100 words to find and have come to a halt!
5:29 am
zoozzoom
Nope gone past that now 99 :-)
5:30 am
zoozzoom
I have all the Es except the lone one. any stats for it please?
5:33 am
rubyfoo
I only have 127 words and not that one

It will have to wait I need to get going. Have a great day ((Molly & Ruby)) Happy babbling everyone.

The word "sultry" always makes me think of "Throw Momma From The Train".
6:33 am
bichon
Sorry, I don't think I've seen that. But it must be your every day weather.
6:34 am
MollyL
It's been pretty brutal here the past few days. But I have no use for thinking about winter now. Blech, I hate winter.

6:37 am

We missed Sandy, but did get Irene. When I grew up on coastal Long Island we always had hurricanes, but not now. I's all hit or miss
6:39 am

hello. We got Sandy but we do not get hurricanes.

Isobel is the one that hit us the hardest.

Sandy did so much damage to New York.
6:40 am
bichon
Hurricanes in the 50's were really bad. I grew up on a peninsula at the southern part of Queens County and we always got ripped
6:41 am
MollyL
In the 50's architecture did not have the infrastructure that it has now.
6:42 am
Anniebrook
Sandy was awful. I had to live (no water or electricity). Stayed with my daughter for 2 weeks before I could return home.
6:42 am
bichon
I remember Irene, not that long ago [slightly before Sandy] which even ripped up into Vermont
6:42 am
Anniebrook
*leave
6:44 am
bichon
You were lucky Annie, think of the people who had no place to go
6:45 am
MollyL
No electricity (which means no air conditioning) in a high rise building is no joke.
6:45 am
Anniebrook
I was just going to say that. There were volunteers going up and dowm the stairs bringing food and water to people who couldn't leave.
6:45 am
MollyL
Bless their hearts. What a kind thing to do.
6:46 am
Anniebrook
Unbelievably kind. Walking up and down 24 flights of stairs.
6:47 am
Anniebrook
When I came home, I had no car. It was washed away in the storm.
6:47 am
MollyL
People can say what they want about New Yorkers. I think they really come through for each other when times are tough.
6:49 am
Anniebrook
Especially Brooklynites..unusual breed. Then I started looking for stores that were open. There was one store near the ocean that opened and we ate ham sandwiches with tomato for almost a week until other stores started to open.
6:50 am
Anniebrook
But we had water flowing and that was the important side of all of this and electricity but no heat and it was cold.

2:39 pm
hego
No, but a word we see here and hard to clue
2:40 pm
hurshy
i despise black licorice and anything else anise flavored. i don't like twizzlers, mostly because of their texture. they're like, soft but not soft enough.
2:41 pm
hurshy
anise and dill, and anything pickled like kimchee, sauerkraut, all are anathema to me
2:41 pm
MLFAN17
kind of like dried fruit
2:41 pm

We have red liquorice which are called shoe laces.i like them
2:41 pm
MLFAN17

2:42 pm
72 Temple Owl
they are definitely different. i like shoelaces better
2:42 pm
hurshy
yeah the shoelaces are better than twizzlers
2:42 pm
hurshy
twizzler shape is weird cause the outside has these kind of "sharp" sticky outy bits
2:43 pm
72 Temple Owl
twizzlers have so much gook, like corn syrup i guess, that make the texture.
2:43 pm
MLFAN17
licorice is just nasty in my opinion
2:43 pm

When i was in high school we use to go to a local shop at lunch and could buy a big bag of shoe laces for 20p.not now, alot more expensive

2:46 pm
lilliann
I don't eat chocolate much.I have more of a savoury tooth.
2:46 pm
hurshy
it's very sobering to think about how sweetened chocolate has only been eaten since the middle ages. think about that - NOBODY in the bible ever tasted chocolate. Julius Caesar. Plato, Aristotle, Socrates... no chocolate.
2:47 pm
MLFAN17
hurshy chocolate is actually very bitter
2:47 pm
MLFAN17
I don't know what they ate back then
2:49 pm
hego
or corn, or tomatos, or coffee or potatos.
2:55 pm
MLFAN17
uhh didn't they grow their food back then?
2:56 pm
hego
They didn't have that stuff in Europe back then.
2:56 pm

they grew food but they didn't all have all the types of plants. hence the thanksgiving story involving the pilgrims being introduced to corn by the native americans.

3:29 pm
MLFAN17
i am out poof
3:29 pm
hego
She treats people with 2 diagnoses?
3:30 pm
Kaplan the Magne
In english she works with people who have mental health and addictions who have experienced trauma that made them addicted
3:30 pm
hego
And is up on trauma?
3:30 pm
lilliann
Sounds like a trauma doctor or nurse
3:30 pm
hego
Interesting...
3:30 pm
72 Temple Owl
that is not unusual, i would think, that a client might have more than one thing going on.
3:30 pm
Kaplan the Magne
Yes, trauma treatments can be specific. She can also be a psychologist.
3:31 pm
Kaplan the Magne
I have at least 8 things going on every hour.
3:31 pm
MollyL
Mental health, addiction and trauma...triple diagnosis?
3:31 pm
72 Temple Owl
she talked about unpacking the trauma of living in an oppressive society.
3:31 pm
72 Temple Owl
her words, not mine
3:31 pm
Kaplan the Magne
"Dual Diagnosis" is a construct. Years ago it meant Mentally retarded and psychologically disturbed, but in it's current use it means addicted and bi-polar or something of that order.
3:32 pm
72 Temple Owl
ah.
3:32 pm
Kaplan the Magne
Jargon phrases sound funny ou of context.
3:32 pm
Kaplan the Magne
i did not mean to say it's when I meant its.
3:33 pm
72 Temple Owl
yes they are.
3:33 pm
Kaplan the Magne
A matter of great importance to me.
3:33 pm
MollyL
It is interesting how the psyche field classifies these days. One thing generally sprouts from the other. Trauma creates bi-polar which lends itself to addiction.
3:33 pm
72 Temple Owl
yes, to nearly all babblers.
3:33 pm
72 Temple Owl
not sure about the oppressive society. unless there are race or gender issue.
3:35 pm
Kaplan the Magne
Poverty, non-democratic, oppressive hmidity...?
3:35 pm
MollyL
However, someone like Kap needs to know the origins of what they are attempting to treat.
3:36 pm
72 Temple Owl
here are two (alleged) words used in the article: intentionality and intersectionality.
3:36 pm
Kaplan the Magne
Trauma has bio-psycho-social aspects. My trauma is not your trauma, Rhymes with drama. Or the trauma can be shouldered by a group of people, such as black families.
3:36 pm
72 Temple Owl
interesting.
3:36 pm
Kaplan the Magne
Intersectionality is a jargon word that I choose not to use.
3:37 pm
72 Temple Owl
i hated it immediately. actually, both of them
3:37 pm
Kaplan the Magne
Intentionality is just intention
3:37 pm
Kaplan the Magne
Eschew Obfuscation.
3:37 pm
MollyL
And trauma is a real, experienced psychologically damaging event. As opposed to drama, which is usually self-created.
3:37 pm
72 Temple Owl
yes.
3:38 pm
Kaplan the Magne
Or created by someone with talent, like Tennessee Williams or the daytime soap people.

the people in the article ranged in age from about 28 to 35. perhaps it is generational.

Drama can come from trauma, inherited from Grandma.

Soodle

72 Temple Owl
ty lil
5:01 pm
lilliann
Obviously something off, well i hope you feel better.Maybe drink loads of water to flush it through your system
5:01 pm
lilliann
Perhaps it wasn't the fruit things and you're coming down with something?Hopefully not.
5:02 pm
72 Temple Owl
i hope not.
5:02 pm
72 Temple Owl
fructose can cause symptoms
5:03 pm
lilliann
Maybe that's it then
5:04 pm
MollyL
Are you diabetic TO?
5:04 pm
72 Temple Owl
that all natural stuff will kill you ;)
5:05 pm
lilliann
Hi Sukee.
5:06 pm
lilliann
I know, we're told to eat loads of fresh veg and fruit but alot of fruit has alot of natural sugar which isn't good for us, because it causes alot of other problems.
5:07 pm
sukee
I was happily eating organic spinach when I saw something on a leaf and holes... needless to say, I stopped eating it. Instead I had onion rings and chicken nuggets :)
5:13 pm
lilliann
Was it shop bought or were you eating out Sukee?
5:13 pm
sukee
The spinach was store bought, then I ordered in.
5:14 pm
lilliann
I must admit i can't stand chicken nuggets as it's normally reformed meat but i do like onion rings.Did you wash the spinach?
5:15 pm
sukee
It was supposed to be pre-washed. I should have washed it again. These nuggets are actually real chicken.
5:15 pm
lilliann
I buy spinach in bags from the shop but i still wash it.Some bags will say unwashed.It's the same with alot of the salad and veggies
5:16 pm
sukee
Lesson learned :)
5:16 pm
lilliann
I've learned the lesson too Sukee, when i've seen dead flies on pre-washed salad and veg
5:19 pm
sukee
a fly got in the apartment and the cats are going crazy. It was hiding for a while now the chase is on again.
5:19 pm
lilliann
I'm more into washing anything i buy since i got an ameobic infection in Egypt and ended up in hospital for a couple of days.I know they probably washed it in their water which isn't purified like ours but i know alot of store bought veg probably isn't washed either.
5:19 pm
MollyL
Unless you grow it yourself, nothing is free from a lot of nasty stuff it encounters in the field, being picked, being bagged or boxed and being trucked to your store.
5:20 pm
lilliann
My cat tends to go after bees! Dozy mare!
5:21 pm
lilliann
I must admit Molly,apart from this year i did grow my own salad leaves and sometimes flies or insects did eat the leaves, but i would still wash and throw the holey ones away.
5:23 pm
lilliann
I still grow tomatoes,strawberrries,blueberries and raspberries
5:24 pm
lilliann
I do like alot of spinach, i'm going to have to see how easy it is to grow and if i can grow it in tubs or window boxes
5:31 pm
Glantarell
lilliann, i've never grown spinach but i grow chard in tubs and window boxes. it is easy to grow and tastes like spinach. :-) i reckon spinach is probably quicker and easier than chard
5:34 pm
Kaplan the Magne
Does anyone know what a low fodmap diet is, and are you on one?
5:35 pm
lilliann
Thanks Glant.I don't know whether i've had chard or not, but if it's easy to grow in tubs i'll try it.But i must admit, i've never seen a spinach plant to grow so i'll have to look for seeds.Do you buy a chard plant and grow it on or is it seeds GLANT?
5:36 pm
jesdraggon
vaguely, and no Kaplan
5:36 pm
lilliann
sorry Glant, didn't mean to shout your name
5:37 pm
lilliann
I've never heard of it Kap
5:39 pm
lilliann
Why Kap are you thinking of going on one?
5:45 pm
Kaplan the Magne
No, I was told I have to. Which means total cofusion and unhappiness.
5:45 pm
jesdraggon
why confusion and unhappiness? did the doctor not give you information about it? It's supposed to be quite helpful for some intestinal issues.
5:46 pm
Kaplan the Magne
Eliminate most fodmaps- onions, garlic, wheat, soft cheeses, watermelon, cauliflower, beans, apples, ...
5:47 pm
Kaplan the Magne
Brussel sprouts, artichokes, avocado, let's see, what else do I like? Yogurt...
5:48 pm
Kaplan the Magne
I am not happy because I have to cut foods that I like and I don't know what to snack on.
5:48 pm
hurshy
my sympathies, kap :(
5:48 pm
Kaplan the Magne
:(
5:49 pm
hurshy
what kinds of things do they want you to eat more of?
5:49 pm
hurshy
maybe some of those are yummy too
5:49 pm
Kaplan the Magne
Bok choy.
5:49 pm
Kaplan the Magne
Spelt bread.
5:49 pm
lilliann
i just googled it and there are loads of sites about it Kap
5:50 pm
hurshy
i snack on cheerios - are oats allowed?
5:50 pm
Kaplan the Magne
I can eat blueberries, not peaches
5:50 pm
Kaplan the Magne
I think there is too much wheat in cheerios, a favorite snack
5:51 pm
hurshy
no, cheerios recently reformulated to be gluten free, it no longer has wheat
5:51 pm
Kaplan the Magne
Really? I'm on it!
5:51 pm
hurshy
i know because my nephew is gluten free and he was sooooooo excited when i told him
5:52 pm
Kaplan the Magne
Yeah, me too!
5:52 pm
lilliann
I went on a low fat one from Stanford health care and theyn said you can have onions and garlic
5:52 pm
Kaplan the Magne
No, this is about how things react in the gut.
5:53 pm
Sunrise
Kap this site may be helpful for you. http://www.aboutibs.org/low-fodmap-die\nt/guidelines-for-a-low-fodmap-diet.htm\nl
5:53 pm
hurshy
are you already on probiotics?
5:53 pm
Kaplan the Magne
Onions are a major offender.
5:53 pm
Kaplan the Magne
I was not prescribed them but I have some around.
5:53 pm
Sunrise
The thinking is to eat similar to this for 6 to 8 weeks not a life time.
5:53 pm
Kaplan the Magne
than you sunrise. I
5:54 pm
hurshy
i don't know anything about IBS, really, but i know that probiotics are generally supposed to help promote positive things in the gut
5:54 pm
Kaplan the Magne
If it doesn't kill me in 6 weeks. Thank you.
5:54 pm
lilliann
really? I think i was reading it wrong! I couldn't be without my onions and garlic
5:55 pm
Sunrise
All the best Kap. If your having difficulty with diet , seeing a dietitian would be helpful.
5:59 pm
MollyL
Acupuncture and acupressure for IBS have been very effective for some. We need to quit relying on western medicine.
6:01 pm
lilliann
I was reading it wrong, all the good things are bad things :(
6:01 pm
MollyL
Lots of information on the Fodmap diets if you do a Google search on that
6:03 pm
lilliann
I was told i had IBS years ago but was never told what i coud and couldn't eat.Has it happens i don't have it.
6:03 pm
lilliann
Typing crap as normal!!
6:05 pm
72 Temple Owl
the new thing here is food allergy patch testing for IBS
6:07 pm
Kaplan the Magne
I now I can google. I'm just complaining.
6:08 pm
hurshy
food and eating are one of the most fundamental aspects of our lives. it is a pretty emotional thing to have to make changes. but if it is 6 weeks only, that's something to look forward to later!
6:09 pm
MollyL
Some physicians are real big on diagnosing IBS for people who are gassy or have bowel issues. That is not always the proper diagnosis.
6:09 pm
72 Temple Owl
i think it is a diagnoses when all others have been ruled out
6:11 pm
lilliann
I feel for you Kap, because since i've been through early menopause 12 years ago i had to stop eating certain things that would trigger hot flushes but,life is too short and now if i want something i'll eat it and begger the consequences.I'll suffer after but atleast i've enjoyed something i like to eat!
6:14 pm
lynxxx
Seems to me that this diet is a cheap and easy and possibly effective thing to try...abdominal isues seem to be notoriously hard to resolve - and the various test/scans more than a little expensive. Hope the diet works for you Kap.
6:16 pm
MollyL
It's amusing. When we were all in our twenties, running around eating burgers and pizza all the time, we had no digestive issues. Now that we are "of a certain age" and eat what is called "healthy food" many are having issues.
6:17 pm
MollyL
*Goes to the PB bar to make Metamucil Cocktails for all
6:19 pm
lynxxx
Guess we all want to live a little longer than we were designed to
6:19 pm
lilliann
Very true Molly and in the years past especially with my grand parents, eating suet and loads of fat,treacle,sugar and my nan is now 98
6:20 pm
lilliann
Metamucil coctail?
6:22 pm
lynxxx
Molly was being facetious Lill
6:22 pm
lilliann
I've cared for people eating all the 'bad 'things we eat now and they live alot longer than us now.
6:22 pm
hurshy
metamucil is a fiber product that you dissolve in a beverage and drink
6:23 pm
lilliann
Oh, so it makes you go to the loo and do a number 2!
6:27 pm
rururocks
time to make a crappy entrance I guess
6:31 pm
rururocks
hi liz.. I think Lillian is too pooped to answer right now
6:31 pm
Lizlin
I guess she had to run
6:31 pm
Lizlin
How's life in your new home, Ru?
6:32 pm
lilliann
Hi Liz and Ru:)
6:32 pm
lilliann

6:33 pm
lilliann
It blocked the toilet Ru :D
6:34 pm
lilliann
I can't run Liz, but i had to do wheelies in my chair! :)
6:34 pm
MollyL
Hi Ru, it's all about bowel problems here tonight.
How cheery.
6:34 pm
Lizlin
I know that, Lil - it was a feeble attempt to continue Ru's joke!
6:35 pm
Lizlin
Just thought I'd say that there are no health issues here :)
6:36 pm
lilliann
I was joking too Liz :)
6:36 pm
Lizlin
Because I don't think people say that often enough :)
6:38 pm
rururocks
LOVE My new house liz.. I love it here
6:38 pm
lilliann
I'm always pooped which is why i sleep alot.
6:38 pm
Lizlin
That's great, Ru - has Dylan settled now?
6:38 pm
rururocks

6:38 pm
rururocks
Dylan is settled. He likes it here too
6:39 pm
Lizlin
So all's good in Ruworld :)
6:39 pm
lilliann
Ru, do you live in the same town /County or have moved to another town?
6:39 pm
rururocks
yes.. all good. Just wish it was busier in the biz.. but it's kind of nice to not have to work so hard when the weather is great
6:40 pm
rururocks
I moved in the same town Lillian.. from a rental into my own home after the divorce.
6:40 pm
Lizlin
That's sort of how I feel. Early retirement and the move to QLD - can't really remember the drudge of work. So much else to do.
6:41 pm
rururocks
<---still drudging
6:42 pm
Lizlin
But if you have to drudge, I guess wine is a good industry to drudge in. Better than stroppy 11 year olds!
6:42 pm
lilliann
Oh, sorry to hear about your divorce.I've missed alot being away from babble.Good that you have your own home now and your son lives with you?
6:42 pm
rururocks
I don't have a son.. I Have a doggy
6:43 pm
rururocks
Divorce is fine. We parted amicably and are back to being great friends
6:43 pm
rururocks
I love her still, but can't live with her any longer
6:43 pm
Lizlin
My hubby's like that with his ex - people find it quite weird when she and her partner come and stay with us!
6:44 pm
lilliann
Oh , that's right, you have a golden retriever or labrador?
6:44 pm
Lizlin
I remember you were fairly amazed when Rolin and I explained it on babble!
6:44 pm
rururocks
it's nice when it can work out that way liz. I did my best in counseling to keep on an even keel through the process so that things didn't fly off the handle.
6:44 pm
lilliann
or knowing my memory none of them
6:44 pm
rururocks
I was very amazed with Rolin
6:45 pm
rururocks
I have a Golden Lillian.. and will be adopting a lab too
6:45 pm
Lizlin
You understand better now though, I'd guess?
6:45 pm
rururocks
I do understand now. Makes total sense.
6:45 pm
Lizlin
What colour lab? Golden, choccy or black?
6:45 pm
lilliann
I know what it's like to love some one but not be able to live with.
6:46 pm
rururocks
doesn't matter to me liz.. whatever they bring me that fits my description. Color doesn't matter, Brains do.
6:46 pm
rururocks
I have to run to a doctor's appt. Best of luck everyone
6:47 pm
Lizlin
Look forward to seeing pics, when you get it. Back in a few minutes - need to hang washing out. Not my fav job! Good luck at the docs.
6:47 pm

Lizlin
On 2nd list run through - hate it when I miss plurals.
7:17 pm
lilliann
i think it's easy on this frid, plus pt and don't forget the nearly vowel( i can't think of what we say for that letter)
7:17 pm
Lizlin
Good enough for me! It's weird - I really have missed some very obvious words :( Down to 10
7:18 pm
Lizlin
But I guess that happens on larger grids.
7:18 pm
MollyL
Sometimes vowel
7:18 pm
lilliann
i think we do that all the time Liz
7:19 pm
MollyL
Unless you live in Wales, where all the vowels are consonant.
7:19 pm
lilliann
That's it, ty Molly
7:19 pm
Lizlin
Very true, Molly.
7:19 pm
MollyL
*Consonants
7:22 pm
lilliann
Yes,majority are.My da taught me some welsh.I remember some phrases but have forgotten alot, but saying that i think he told my brother and i what he could remember as he left Wales when he was 8 and lived in England the majority of his life.
7:23 pm

Fireworks.
7:24 pm

Thanks for the chat and the clues. Need to go and make some bread. Good luck with the grid, Lil.
7:25 pm
lilliann
And i didn't mispell dad either...my da would be proud of me. he always writes mam on cards too which my mam doesn't.Mam is also a Northern term but southern is mum.
7:26 pm

I would love to clue that, and will as soon as i find it... hah. Is actually the word I'm currently looking for :)

I don't have either of them handy, you'll have to pinch hit :)
11:14 pm
rururocks
you're welcome :D
11:16 pm
jesdraggon
you'd be a great etiquette advisor, right?
11:18 pm
rururocks
I would
11:18 pm
rururocks
I can be very polite when I need to be
11:19 pm
jesdraggon
I thought so. what would your column be called?
11:19 pm
rururocks
the Ru Principles
11:20 pm
jesdraggon
I don't think I could handle polite. I'd be more in the Dan Savage line of blunt and sarcastic
11:20 pm
jesdraggon
you'd probably be more popular :)
11:23 pm
rururocks
not sure about that
11:23 pm
